    G-Body Parts Vacuum brake conversion kit. $320 shipped.

    I couldn't tell you, this was the one recommended by everyone, so thats what I bought. I never have very good service from Kirbans and Brian at G-body got well over 20K from me over the last 5 years for my Regal. I didn't even know kirbans had a kit to be honest as I didn't look lol

    G-Body Parts Vacuum brake conversion kit. $320 shipped.

    Hey Guys, I've got a new G-body Parts Vacuum conversion kit here. I opened the box to make sure everything was in there but nothing has been installed or used in any way. I sold my 86 Regal T 2 weeks ago and forgot I had this kit still to be installed. I'm looking for $330 US shipped anywhere...

    Looking for rpms at 65 to 70mph while cruising

    I know lots of guys that run NL converters and don't even get close to overheating on the highways, myself included..... and I beat the living crap out of mine and have for the last 4 years with a 2800 stall NL PTC and I drive 100km's a day on the highway, every day as long as there isn't snow...

    NON LOCK CONVERTER DRIVEABILITY?

    I've got a non-lock 2800 in my car now and it's great. I spent quite a bit if time trying to decide whether to get LU or NLU and the decision was made to go non-locking by info on here and my tranny guy (built me a kickass stage 2). I've had both now and prefer the Non-lock for driving around...

    comparison between GBP aluminum radiator and Alradco

    Just remember the G-body is about another 1/3 thicker. Both fit fine as well. No issues at all. I did go to an after market tranny cooler once I got my stage 2 done but it's temps also dropped a ton vs the stock rad when I did have the tranny connected to the rad.

    comparison between GBP aluminum radiator and Alradco

    I've had both. the Gbody one cools better but the alradco one looks better. I had a rock punch straight through my gbody one and needed a replacement asap and the alradco one was the only one I could get fast. It's a great rad BTW but doesn't cool as good as the Gbody one. One super hot days...

    Baer or Wildwood? Does it matter?

    Yup, they mount to everything stock but I did put a set of vented rotors and SS brake lines. Everything bolted right up, no problems. It was around 1K for front and back calipers if I remember right.

    Baer or Wildwood? Does it matter?

    There is always SSBC. I got a kit from them last year and the quality was excellent. they work really great also. I got the direct fit calipers for the front and disk's and calipers for the rear. Everything fit perfectly. One thing I can't say about my crappy TA "stock replacement" headers. Good...

    help me choose wheel/tire size!

    Tom, I think you'll find MANY guys including myself, run a 275 tire on 8" rims. I've done it for years and it's been perfectly fine for the track and the street, every tire manufacture will say something different. For an 8" rim BS will be 4-4.5 to get everything to fit up to about a 275-295. I...
